Abstract
The system and method use one or more manufacturing base modules can each have a first side, a second side opposite from the first side, a third side to the left of the first side, a fourth side to the right of the first side, a directional movement portion, and at least one operational attachment attached relative to at least two of the at least three base modules. For a given base module, the directional movement portion can define a working area for performing at least one operation on one or more articles passing through the working area, and the operational attachment can perform the at least one operation on the one or more articles. The one or more base modules can be arranged in various different arrangements and layouts with respect to one another to create an assembly line to create finished or semi-finished products from the one or more articles.
